I love pastis, especially in summertime, but as a mixer they're a royal pain in the ass because their strong licorice flavor overwhelms practically everything. I finally found something that balances it out, coffee liqueur, and the combination is a lot tastier than you might think. The Bag of Filth is supposedly the New Zealand firefighter's drink of choice, hence the Maori mask in the photo.
1 oz. Pastis (Ricard)
1 oz. Coffee Liqueur (Patrón XO Cafe)
Fill glass with crushed ice. Pour liqueurs into glass. Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and give it a rapid 3 second shake. Pour the contents back into glass. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

London Sour, at Trader Vic Beverly Hills, about an hour ago. My first time, it was quiet tasty.

The same thing I've been drinking all week, a Mai Tai.
I was making it with Tanduay rum and Bacardi select but tonight I'm trying out a mixture of Sailor Jerry and Captain Morgan Tatoo, it gives the drink an interesting flavor. (Not that the Mai Tai isn't usually interesting)

The Octopus.
Not a huge fan of this. I mean, it's not like I'm gonna throw it out or anything, but I expected it to be sweeter with the juices than it is.

A Mai-Tai... BUT... with a rum I've never used in it before, and I'm having some interesting results.
Picked up some Pyrat XO today because it's finally been knocked down to $20 here. For some reason, even though CA went with the $19.99 price tag almost a year ago, CO is just now catching up.
So... made my Mai-Tai as usual, but split the "dark" portion with half Coruba/half Pyrat XO. Just enough to get some of that deep funk of the Pyrat.
And you know what? This tastes closer to an Emeryville Mai-Tai than any other Mai-Tai I've ever made at home.
Now, I know they don't use straight-up Pyrat... but whatever they use (their TV's Mai-Tai rum, only available at the restaurants, right?), it's got the same sort of funk to it.
So, my rum mix tonight is 1oz Appleton Estate Reserve, 1/2oz Coruba, 1/2oz Pyrat XO.
And it is freakin' delicious.

I'd never thought of inviting the Pyrat into my Mai Tai, but I'm giving the mix above a try this evening.
Thanks!

This combo is indeed pretty darn good. I don't know that I prefer it to a "1oz Appleton Estate, 1oz St. James Hors D'age" mix, but the Pyrat does give it an interesting "something different".
Great suggestion.
